Notes sbd w/ aud patches - sbd portion mix and quality are good. Set 1 is solid, only drawbeck is Bob's slide on Sugaree. Garcia's playing is thoughtful and playful mostly. Set 2 has a China > Rider which the crowd enjoys hearing the opening notes for. The LLR that follows is standalon and slowers the pace. He's Gone has a little jam before the drums segment that hints of TOO but never goes there. Out of drums there is a space jam that again is quiet and atonal with occasional "space ship taking off" sounds. The remainder of set 2 is uneventful. The Shakedown encore is long and funky.
